Chapter 12: Orphans
Zhuge Yice didn't know Wu Que, and he didn't know Wu Que's past.
But he knew the demon star, and he had been following the demon star's movements for twenty-two years since it appeared.
Zhuge Bodhi didn't know Wu Que, nor did he know the demon star in his grandfather's mouth.
But since she was conscious, the demon star has become the reason for her existence and the center of her life.
Pure demon bodhicitta in the world.
Zhuge Bodhi has bodhicitta in mind.
Grandpa said to her, this is fate, this is the way of heaven.
She never doubted, she believed very seriously.
Finally in the autumn of sixteen, the other party appeared, he said that his name was Wu Que, and she said that I am your marriage.
Zhuge Bodhi suddenly felt very satisfied.
Time passes slowly, and the tea slowly cools.
"Look below." Zhuge Yice suddenly reminded softly.
A few people looked at it, only to see that at some point, a dense group of koi fish had gathered under the small waterfall.
The schools of fish crowded, collided, jumped, and gradually began to move towards the waterfall.
The difference of seven meters is huge, and the force of the impact of the pouring river increases exponentially.
There are constantly koi fish being washed down by the waterfall and falling into the lake, motionless, not knowing whether they have fainted or not.
"Is this a migration?" Wu Que was shocked.
But in his impression, carp probably don't have this habit.
"To exist is to be reasonable, and everything has a cause." Zhuge Yice said, and there was some mysterious aura in his words.
Schools of fish swimming against the current are scrambling to swim upstream. Fortunately, this small waterfall still exists at a certain angle, so although the fish are struggling to be washed down, some of the carp have slowly swam to some heights.
"Fish leaping over the dragon gate? Tsk is really idealistic enough, but it's also vivid. Wu Que sighed.
While Wu Que was talking, some of the koi fish in the school actually migrated up tenaciously, less than two meters away from crossing the waterfall.
"Come on" Ye Qianrao clenched her fists and said softly, her eyes were a little moved.
"Guess how many koi fish will eventually be able to cross the waterfall?" Zhuge Yice asked with a smile.
"Within five of a kind. Although these dozens of koi fish are only one meter away from success, I am afraid that this meter is the most difficult. Zhuang Die frowned and thought for a while before saying softly.
Ye Qianrao was not so cautious, stared at the big watery eyes, and said with a touched face: "Of course, the more the better, and it is better to cross this waterfall all." ”
Zhuge Yice smiled, "The source of the river upstream of the waterfall is the Qutan River, if all the koi here cross the waterfall and escape into the Qutan River, then my old man's hard work over the years will be in vain, hahaha" laughed out loud after speaking.
"Want to enter the Qutan River? It's impossible. I'm afraid I'll all die on the road from exhaustion. Wu Que shook his head, brutally breaking the girl's beautiful dream.
Ye Qianrao pursed her mouth and glanced at Wu Que fiercely, and then continued to observe the koi group.
The originally dense school of fish had now thinned out, and a few of the significantly stronger koi almost reached the top of the waterfall.
But he has never been able to cross this hurdle, and it is very painful to advance and retreat.
Suddenly, a golden koi sprinted, paved some brilliant waves, and went up the river to the top of the waterfall.
Along the way, they even broke through the obstacles of a few koi fish, and there was a great atmosphere of fish jumping over the dragon gate.
"Poof!"
The golden koi fish lived up to everyone's expectations and miraculously broke through the barrier of the river and flew out of the water in one go. The mouth of the fish that opens and closes seems to tell something.
The golden sun at noon sprinkled and draped on the body of the koi, and it was brilliant in an instant.
The golden carp writhes to give people the illusion of turning into a dragon.
"Smack!"
A white palm pierced through the sunlight and pierced the sky, grabbing the golden carp.
"A fool who threw himself into the net." The flirtatious voice sounded slowly, and the owner of this palm was Wu Que.
He shrugged helplessly, "Looks like I'm going to add a meat dish to lunch." ”
Ye Qianrao and Zhuang Die were furious, "Brother Wu Que, what are you doing!" Don't you don't like to eat carp? The former asked fiercely, and his tone softened as he spoke.
The latter was not so polite, and when he took two steps closer, he stretched out his hand and pinched Wu Que's ear, "Wu Que, let go of me!" The anger in his eyes was undisguised.
Wu Que couldn't cry or laugh, and shouted with an exaggerated expression: "You let go first, you let go first!" Everything good to say."
Zhuge Yice smiled and explained for Wu Que: "Two girls, in fact, Wu Xiaoyou is ruthless in his words, but his heart is charitable. The golden carp crossing the waterfall was indeed a feat, but it also used all its strength. If it weren't for Wu Xiaoyou, I am afraid that he would be directly washed down by the river again, maybe he would be stunned, or he might die directly. ”
Zhuang Die and Ye Qianrao looked suspicious when they heard this, but the former was a little embarrassed and quickly let go of his hand.
"That's right, that's what I am! Compassionate, bodhisattva-hearted, I am such a man! Wu Que sighed lightly, rubbed his ears and said helplessly.
As he spoke, he squatted down, dragged the exhausted golden carp with the palm of his hand, and soaked in the river water for a while.
After a while, the koi carp, which was originally motionless, suddenly fluttered, and its cheerful appearance suddenly made Zhuang Die and Ye Qianrao smile.
Wu Que slowly let go of his palm, allowing the koi carp that had recovered its strength to swim down the waterfall smoothly.
"Let's go, I'm hungry, let's eat."
The place for lunch is naturally in the courtyard, and there is no big fish and meat, but a few light stir-fried dishes, which taste excellent.
In Zhuge Yice's somewhat ostentatious disclosure, everyone also knew that these dishes were actually made by Zhuge Bodhi himself.
After eating, Zhuang Die and Ye Qianrao pulled Zhuge Bodhi and began to contact their feelings.
And Wu Que and Zhuge Yice sat in the courtyard and tasted tea, and the tea was naturally brewed by Zhuge Bodhi.
"Bodhi, this child has a hard life, and before he can understand anything, his parents both died. When I was a child, I almost didn't play, and I always read books, played the piano, made tea, played chess, and practiced. Zhuge Yice looked at his granddaughter, who always looked serious, and sighed with pity.
"Bodhi is very strong and mysterious." Wu Que glanced at it lightly and said tentatively.
"With bodhicitta you can naturally learn everything quickly, not to mention that troubled times have come, how can you be helped without a little strength." Zhuge Yice said.
"What do you mean?" Wu Que frowned.
"How about letting Bodhi follow you?" Zhuge Yice smiled and said, "I know you have your own path, rest assured, Bodhi will not become a stumbling block on your way." It will only be the cornerstone of your journey. ”
"Old man, you want to lie to me to be your grandson-in-law?"
"Not impossible."
"Don't dream, I'm not interested in underage girls." Wu Que refused happily.
"Then let Bodhi follow you first, time will not go backwards, there will always be an adult." Zhuge Yice seemed to be determined to give his granddaughter to Wu Que, "Don't refuse, it's all fate." ”
Zhuge Yice raised his hand to stop Wu Que's second refusal, shrunk his body into the recliner, his eyes were foggy.
Although Wu Que had doubts in his heart, he looked at the suddenly depressed old man, opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
"I have always been proud of the word Zhuge and have also taken it as my responsibility to help the common people in the world. It is as small as divining the sex of the fetus and as big as spying on the luck of China. A life of pride knows everything. However, spying on the heavens is really a move against the heavens and troubled times, and my Zhuge family originally had 36 people of size and 8 old servants. ”
"Now only two of me, Bodhi and I, as well as the old servant Zhuge Nusan, this is all retribution!" Zhuge Yice hid his old body tightly in the recliner, almost muttering, and the old tears were all over the place.
Wu Que's expression was grim, and the sorrow in the world was nothing more than a white head sending a black head.
And the old man in front of him and the girl not far away have experienced this kind of sorrow dozens of times.
"It's all my fault for being rampant, vainly calculating the death of Huaxia fourteen years ago and the Demon Star Emperor's destiny ten years ago, after all, I spied too many heavenly opportunities that I shouldn't know. It's me who caused Zhuge to gradually wither, I'm a sinner! Zhuge Yice's whole body trembled, as if he was afraid that his granddaughter not far away would notice it, and his body was curled up in the recliner, hidden in Wu Que's shadow.
"I'm scared! I was afraid that if Bodhi followed me again, sooner or later I would die unmaturely. And in this world, I have no other way than to be strong enough to suppress Bodhi! Born Bodhi, it shouldn't have disappeared in the world like this! Wu Que, take Bodhi out of here, she can really help you, you can help her, it's all fate! Zhuge Yice's eyes were full of sincerity and pleading, and his trembling hands tightly squeezed Wu Que's arm, looking expectant.
Wu Que was moved, and the moment Zhuge Yice's palm touched his arm, he realized that the vitality of the old man in front of him had already dissipated, and now he was afraid that he only had one breath left.
This is supporting the orphan!
Wu Que took a deep breath, and then nodded heavily.
He easily does not make promises, but once he makes up his mind, he will never regret when the sky falls!
Zhuge Yice smiled with relief, his mind was over, and it was time to go up and apologize to his clansmen.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Que and a few people quietly left the Qianli Manor, and there was a figure behind him that was destined to fall into the city.
Wu Que didn't know how Zhuge Yice said to Zhuge Bodhi, in short, the grandfather and grandson stayed in the house for three minutes and Bodhi came out, and then followed closely behind Wu Que without leaving one step.
Before leaving the door, he glanced back with compassion in his eyes.
Since then, I am afraid that heaven and man have been separated.
The old red-lacquered gate slowly closed, as if closing the only door to the world, and the fish began to sleep.
"Bodhi, follow me in the future."
Wu Que stood in front of Zhuge Bodhi, and his right hand couldn't help but gently rub the latter's little head, and said gently.
Zhuge Bodhi seemed to be a little unaccustomed to the favor he emanated from the bottom of his heart, and he subconsciously dodged it slightly, but stopped his figure in an instant, and then rubbed Wu Que's palm with his head, and a few traces of dependence welled up in his eyes.
"Hmm!"
"Brother!" She screamed silently in her heart, and the smile on her face was brighter than the sun.
Smile like a flower!
The emperor and Zhuge , the demon and Bodhi, the man and the woman, the elder brother and her.
It's all in harmony like Grandpa's dream.
